Dark Demon is the name I generated using the Flames of Orion Callsign Generator, and dammit I'll stick with it, although I'm tempted to try again. I painted up the mech today while hanging out with the gang over at the Hive Scum HQ. We had intended to actually play too... but sandwiches and xacto knife dartboard got in the way.
You know how it goes.
Anyway this mech started off as a Marauder I pulled from a blind box a while ago. My favorite mech from Battletech I've seen! I had already painted this one, but wanted it to fit a little more in the FoO-niverse. I added some greebles and some grit, and I made it a bit more asymmetric and came up with this:
She primed up nicely, and I put a wash of a couple GW shades I had kicking around over the very bright white zenithal I had laid over.
I was already liking the way it looked:
I added some red on a few areas for pops of color:
Then I hit it with some streaking grime, and after that had dried I hit the windows with some red, to match the booster in the back and gel with the red details.
After it was mostly dry I tried to make the base pop by mixing up a bunch of random paint to see what happens. In this case it was Dirty Down Verdigris, a yellow contrast paint, and some sky blue for highlights.
After that I painted to base rim black and called it done! I probably could so more to this, added more highlights etc., but thats the fun part of painting with others for me. I paint quickly and I don't care as much, and usually it comes out better than expected.
Thanks for lookin'! Pce!
